Abstract

Fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are usually mechanically characterized by means of tensile and bond tests. The load responses provided by tensile tests of FRCM coupons are typically constituted of three phases, namely the uncracked, cracking, and fully cracked phase. Tensile tests can be performed by either transferring the force to the matrix (clevis- or clamping-grip test) or to the bare fibers (direct gripping of the fibers).
